Your question about fossil reproductions.

 * I would say these 3D reproduction are just a 'slavish copies' and not deserving of copyright under copyright law if you take the photographs. For better advice consider up loading it to Wikimedia Commons. They have a Copyright help desk here:   The uploaded image(s) can then be used on  Wikipedia.  Whilst, Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons do not allow advertising, it would be both polite and just, to mention that a Bone Clones copy  provided the 'source' for your image(s). Together with a link to their website. That is not advertising (IMHO) but providing a provenance for any said fossil. Thus, if a palaeontologist upon seeing your image on Wikipedia decides s/he would really love to examine the real thing, then they can go direct to  Bone Clones.--Aspro (talk) 12:03, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ernest Mercier (agronomist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nicolet. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Hoth (band)


A tag has been placed on Hoth (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
